The Attic – A Ghost Story Epilogue

When twenty women die at the hands of a serial killer, it's hard to call it a happy ending.

Bart Dover never regained his mental faculties after the angry ghosts of twenty murdered women descended upon him. He couldn't even put together a complete sentence and had to have the lights on round the clock. He was declared unfit to stand trial and will likely live out the rest of his life in an institution for the criminally insane.

Angelina sang like a canary. She ended up getting house arrest for a year, then ten years of probation. We go by and check on her occasionally, but we're kind of over her bullshit. Her days as the town's unofficial mascot are pretty much over.

But Angelina's not alone. Half the town are facing similar punishments after confessing under the lash of angry ghosts in what is now being referred to locally as "The Helmsworth Halloween" (despite having taken place in September).

"Callie and Mina's Haunted Dungeon of Sexy Horrors" is a camgirl hit. The Helmsworth twins appear in most episodes, Lila and I make regular appearances – usually to punish Callie and Mina – and other ghosts are giving it a whirl. The twins are making some pretty serious cash off their porn, and are also selling their art work faster than they can keep up.

We are down to sixteen ghosts in our attic, we expect a few to move on in the coming weeks but after that I think the remainder are having too much fun being camwhores to move on any time soon.

Our house, once a sad prison for Dorothy and Lorelei, is now a very happy, contented (and a little horny) place.

And we like it that way…

Author's Post*********** – In case you caught it, the Helmsworth twins were intentionally named Dorothy and Lorelei for two reasons. First, Dorothy was a famous character played by Judy Garland, and Lorelei was a famous character played by Marilyn Monroe – both of whom were terribly exploited and had their lives shortened because of it. Second, Dorothy and Lorelei are also the characters played by Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes". It was supposed to be worked into the story as an indicator of how screwed up the twins' childhood was (their mom cynically naming two brunette daughters after characters in a movie with a title extolling the virtues of blondes). Unfortunately, that part of the story got cut to try to shorten a growing narrative. But now you know. :-) Hope you enjoyed!
